Licensing and registration

There are no licensing or registration requirements for joiners working in Victoria. However, registration may be required to work directly with consumers if you wish to, for example, run a small business.

Builders are registered through the Building Practitioners Board, which is part of the Building Commission. For further information contact:

Tip

We suggest that you only apply for jobs when your visa to live and work in Australia has been issued. The visa application process can take time, and employers are less likely to employ you if you don’t know when you will arrive in Australia and don’t have a work visa.
